#TheCrimeCats say local government is just stooges for developers and the owner class, dedicated to upholding and continuing the legacy of violence perpetrated by police against the citizens. they don't work for us, they never have and never will.
This isn't some anomalous occurrence due to the happenstance of a protest. They are like this 24/7/365, lying, cheating, brutalizing, doing everything they can to stay in power, and that's why they must be dismantled.
There is a better future ahead. If their rule was just, they wouldn't have to expend so much effort to maintain it.
What would happen if we all just stopped paying, I mean I stop paying rent my (nice) landlady stops paying loans et al et al. What would they (vanguard or whoever) actually do? Send armies (=ourselves) to force people to pay for their imaginary wealth?
All it would take would be a little impossible unity of non-doing something to take down capitalism in a few days. That's how close we are.
Note to alternate reality selves: if you think others should pay just because you have to pay too, you should actually be focusing on why you are paying and to whom.
Been thinking about the atom, the arc of environmentalism, and my relationship to social media.
The tl;dr is that there's no ethical extraction under capitalism for any energy tech, I don't have all the answers on ethical extraction, but it wouldn't hurt to touch grass for a bit.
En #BaladeOiseaux, ça chante et bouge de partout, le soleil me chauffe bien le dos, le fossé coule avec un petit son agréable et les épines blanches (aubépines) embaument l'air.
Et à côté de ça t'as les bourgeois qui veulent tout remplacer par des champs de monocultures empoisonnés ou par des carrefours markets.
Y a du monde ajouter dans le tas de compost...
On a #BirdWalk, there's singing and movement everywhere, the sun warms my back, the ditch flows with a pleasant sound and the white thorns (hawthorns) perfume the air.
And then there are the rich who want to replace everything with poisonous monocultures or market hubs.
There's a lot of people to add to the compost heap...
The capitalist ruling class uses propaganda, manipulation, and false promises to maintain control over the masses, just as the axe convinces the trees to vote for it despite the threat it poses. We need solidarity among the working class to counter and dismantle of hierarchical power structures that corrupt our minds and actions.
#TheCrimeCats say don't forget your heroes only profit from your slavery. wonder why any of those artists were ever using a non-union print shop in the first place? because they want to make money. and the only way to make money under capitalism is to have it already or to get it off someone else being exploited.
"Economic Democracy: arguments from the US" for #WorkersRights to self-management and against the employment contract
The #philosophy of economic #democracy shows that workers have an inalienable right to workplace democracy/worker coops. The #employment contract violates that right even if it is fully voluntary. An inalienable right is one that can't be given up even with consent
